The duo J is the main reason why I love this film….
On the beginning I was very excited on this movie after surfing this
viofitz from Indonesia - 5 June 2009sites since the duo J is collaborate together, but my wish did not came
true for expecting this movie became ****ing marvelous ever since the
story is monotone + get it away those white guts he don't deserve to be
exist!!! I personally think his appearance is ruined the entire scene.
English talk? You gotta be ****'n kidding me… Yes, this is main
reason the movie is ruined because of his appearance, if he can speak
Chinese I probably still tolerate it but still white guts don't match
at all to play in ancient China story(not being racist). Also Yifei
Liu's role is just a pile of junk since I personally think her role is
not important at all & incredibly boring, family got assassinated &
swore for a vengeance. Okay, that's enough for the stupid critics here
I go to discuss this movie, overall is okay the setting is good, the
effect is decent to be match & the marvelous thing is the fight scene
between the duo J, this is the reason why I love this movie if they're
not I'd never want to watch this crap. However the other fight scene
with others is completely overrated IMO. Right now I just wishing
there's another movie that will involve Jackie Chan & Jet Li I hope it
would be better than this one….
Likable Martial Arts Fantasy
Jackie Chan has to be one of the more likable actors of his generation,
ccthemovieman-1 from Lockport, NY, United States - 7 May 2009a man who can successfully combine martial arts brutality and
humor…..and pull it off, each time. "The Forbidden Kingdom" is
another example of his talents, geniality and flair for comedy in
addition to the obvious martial arts skills he's shown us all these
years.To make long story very short, this is tale an American teen who finds
an ornate bo-staff at a friend's shop in Chinatown and the kid's
mission winds up to deliver this age-old weapon to its rightful owner
across the world in China and in a different time period. Yeah, I know,
the story is ludicrous, but who cares? It's an entertaining film with
some great stunts and some good humor. We have young people, old
people, amateur fighters and pros, pretty girls with pretty moms,
exotic locales and a lot of seriousness mixed with goofiness and
Chinese mythology.This is a not a film for "hard core" martial-arts fans, nor is it an
"intelligent" film but if you're looking for a fun two hours of total
escapism without the story being too stupid to enjoy, this fits the
bill. I mean, you get Chan and Jet Li, in the same movie for the first
time, too – not bad!
A Fun Movie That's Worth Looking Past Its Many Flaws.
The marketing for this movie basically wrote itself. Martial arts
Zombie-Kermit from Australia - 29 March 2009superstars Jackie Chan and Jet Li starring in a movie together at last!
The movie poster caught my attention as a kung fu lover straight away.
I love Jackie Chan! Have since I was a kid. Admittedly, I didn't know
much about Jet Li yet, but I knew he was good. But when I watched the
movie, I realised that it wasn't exactly what I expected. Li and Chan's
roles were basically as supporting characters, albeit extremely
important ones, to the fairly unlikeable character of Jason (Michael
Angarano, of Sky High fame), a martial arts movie loving American
teenager who has been transported to this ancient world, where he must
return an ancient staff to the Monkey King, Son Wukong (Jet Li), who is
the hero of the old tale Journey to the West. He does this with the
help of and old immortal (Jackie Chan), a Monk (also played by Jet Li)
and a young girl (Liu Yifei) out for revenge against the villain of the
movie, the Jade Warlord (Collin Chou) and his gang. That's all I'm
really going to say about the plot.Now, the problem I have with the character of Jason is not so much that
he's some American kid who seems too out of place in the movie, it's
more that the character is very flat and uninteresting. There is
nothing that really sets him apart from most other teenage movie heroes
(including his own character from Sky High). A lot of his scenes in the
movie are cringe worthy, and he brings the movie down a little.
Although, it's not all bad, he does actually have some pretty cool
action scenes of his own, so he's almost made worthwhile there. It's
kind of hard to tell how well he was acted, since it seems he doesn't
have much to work with. Now, Jackie Chan was awesome as always. His
character was a lot of fun to watch on screen, and he brought the same
charm he always seems to bring to his movies. Jet Li did a great job as
well, both as the Silent Monk and the Monkey King. Chan and Li worked
really well together, and had great on screen chemistry. I hope to see
them re-teaming for more movies in the future. Liu Yifei didn't really
do a bad job playing her character, it's just that the character wasn't
really necessary, and only seemed to be there so the group would have a
female. Collin Chou played the "paint by numbers" villain decently, as
well.Now, the action scenes are what really bring the movie up to a good
level. The great Yuen Woo-ping choreographed the action sequences,
which is a big plus, as he was the director of one of my favourite
martial arts movies, Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, as well as the
fantastic Drunken Master. Those are definitely some to check out, if
you haven't already. Back to the movie at hand, it had some great
fights. The highlight of the movie was easily the long fight between Li
and Chan, which made my heart cry out in joy. It was easily my
favourite fight scene of 2008. A lot of the action was different to
many other martial arts movies, with characters using magic and Chi and
such to attack, which I really dug.All in all, it's not exactly a great movie, and there are a few scenes
that may make you groan, but there is a lot of great action, as well as
a lot of the typical Jackie Chan style humour throughout the movie,
with Li showing a more comedic side as well, making the movie a lot of
fun. If martial arts and such aren't really your thing, than I can
safely say you should give this a miss, but if you're into it, then
there is a good chance that this movie is worth a watch, if only for
watching two kung fu geniuses duke it out.
Tremendous fun
This movie is a blast. Visually beautiful, great fight scenes, engaging
Charles Herold (cherold) from United States - 2 March 2009characters, I just loved it all. You've seen the story a million times
before, but that's fine, because it keeps moving and hits all the old
clichés with confidence. The action scenes are masterfully filmed. Not
to the level of Zhang Yimou, but it's all cleanly shot, there is none
of the confusion that often occurs when a lot is going on on screen and
there is a sense of fun and excitement and good humour throughout.The biggest flaw is the lame bookend story that clumsily inserts a
modern white American teenager into ancient China. I don't in principal
mind the Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court approach, I just
wish it had been done better. And the kid is a bit generic, although
with Jet Li and Jackie Chan in the film I suppose you don't want to
cast anyone who will outshine them.Just lots and lots of fun.
